And those accusations have been answered.  Tolerating all that do not
interfere with the lives of other people might be labelled by you as
"absolute tolerance".  For the last time, answer this:  In the absence
of such "absolute tolerance", why would people be wrong in being intolerant
of you and your kind?  If you can't show me why, if you only have ethnocentric
self-interest as the basis for your believing that being intolerant of you
is wrong, then what have you got?

So why should the homosexuals be obliged to bow down to YOUR idol?

It wouldn't surprise me to see you disagree with yourself.  You've already
shown how blatantly hypocritical your ideas are.
